Amahi DLNA and Xbox 360 video problems
Posted: Tue Aug 31, 2010 9:41 am
I'm digging Amahi, it covers almost every detail I liked about WHS, with the added bonus of NOT being Windows! But I am having a problem with the most imprtant feature I set it up for: streaming video to my XBox 360. I have a fresh Amahi install (just did it last night) with DLNA and both RPM Fusion packages, music and movies are stored in the appropriate locations and show up on the Xbox. Music streams just fine, but none of the videos will play. The Xbox tries to buffer and then reports an error. I don't remember the exact error code (I'm at work now), but I'll come back and post in a followup. The thing is, I know my Xbox can play these movies! Before I installed Amahi, this server was running WHS and it was able to serve up the videos fine. I've also played them directly from a thumbdrive attached to the Xbox and from a uShare-enabled NAS device. Has anyone else run into this?
Extra details:
I've also installed Ajaxterm, Webmin, phpSysInfo, Ampache, and AmahiTunes. Wired networking for the Xbox & the HDA, plugged into a 10/100 router. The server is a Via C7 1GHz CPU w/ 1 gig of ram. I've got Fedora defaulting to runlevel 3 since this isn't a powerful box, and it's headless anyway. I haven't tried uShare yet, but I wasn't a fan of it on my linksys slug.
